HOUSTON (AP) — The one remaining wrongful death lawsuit filed after 10 people were killed during a deadly crowd crush at the 2021 Astroworld music festival has been settled, an attorney said Thursday.
Jury selection in the lawsuit filed by the family of 9-year-old Ezra Blount, the youngest person killed during the concert by rapper Travis Scott, had been set to begin Sept. 10.
But S. Scott West, an attorney for Blount’s family, said a settlement was reached this week.
Blount’s family had sued Scott, Live Nation — the festival’s promoter and the world’s largest live entertainment company — and other companies and individuals connected to the event, including Apple Inc., which livestreamed the concert.
“The family will continue its journey to heal, but never forget the joy that Ezra brought to everyone around him,” West said in an email.
The lawsuit filed by Blount’s family was one of 10 wrongful death civil suits filed after the deadly concert.
Earlier this month, lawyers had announced that the other nine wrongful death lawsuits had been settled.
Terms of the settlements in all 10 lawsuits were confidential.
The settlement of the lawsuit filed by Blount’s family was first reported by the Houston Chronicle.
